- 80's/early 90's Goth: I have started this, but only very briefly.
- Bauhaus (I spent one evening drinking red wine and listening to them. In the dark. By myself. In my defense, I just hadn't noticed that the sun had set).
- 'Classical' music: I know that Classical is a specific time period, but I generally mean music that is played on the classical radio station. I'd like to be able to actually know the names of specific songs other than Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker.

- The Human Condition Trilogy: Long, black and white, in Japanese. The first one was the most tolerable, but the second two are basically army films, and I just can't stand watching things about the army.
- Rashomon: Also black and white, in Japanese. This seems to be a bad combination for me. It was ok, maybe if I hadn't known the story already it would have been more compelling. Mostly I found the characters' shock to be unconvincing.
- Jane Eyre (2011): I really liked this movie. The costumes were great, Mia W. played Jane basically perfectly, Rochester was almost as ugly as he is supposed to be, and I was happy that they included the St. Johns. I didn't like how they ended it though- it just seemed too abrupt. The 1940's version still has a lot going for it.

- Girl Scouts. I was only in it for three years, then the lady running it at my school just stopped and no one else took over.
- Boy Scouts. Ok, I didn't officially join it, but my parents ended up in charge of running the one at my school because my brother was in it, so I was always there anyways. And I won the pinewood derby (you build model wooden cars and race them. Mine was black and had batmobile style fins) once.
- Random clubs in High School that never did much, like French Club.
- In college, the Radio Station. I was a DJ and I played a weird mix of indie, 'hipstery' bands and loud Japanese rock. It was fun.

- Cloaks
- Hats, of all kinds, but especially slightly ridiculous hats, like top hats and ones with feathers.
- Lace up boots that are actually lace up, not fake lace-ups with a side zipper
- Gloves
- cravats
- men's fashion. This may particularly apply to America, but men really need to stop dressing like slobs, unless that is really a part of one's essential personality. Also the next time I hear a guy complain about how uncomfortable a tie it, I may not be responsible for my actions.
